Gatsby le magnifique (The Great Gatsby), 1925
Gatsby believed in the green light, the orgastic future that year by year recedes before us. It eluded us then, but that's not matter – tomorrow we will run faster, strech out our arms farther... And one fine morning – So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.

Gatsby le magnifique (The Great Gatsby), 1925
Variante: Gatsby croyait en la lumière verte, en l'extatique avenir qui d'année en année recule devant nous. Il nous a échappé! Qu'importe! Demain nous courrons plus vite, nos bras s'étendront plus loin... Et un beau matin...
C'est ainsi que nous avançons, barques luttant contre un courant qui nous rejette sans cesse vers le passé.

F. Scott Fitzgerald livre The Crack-Up
Source: Quoted, The Crack-Up (1936)
Contexte: Before I go on with this short history, let me make a general observation – the test of a first-rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function.
One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet be determined to make them otherwise. This philosophy fitted on to my early adult life, when I saw the improbable, the implausible, often the "impossible," come true.
F. Scott Fitzgerald The Great Gatsby
Variante: He had come a long way to this blue lawn, and his dream must have seemed so close that he could hardly fail to grasp it.
